This morning in China, we went live with a little incubation project called Windows Live Barcode. The project allows users to generate QR-code style barcodes that can contain pretty much any data you want, from URLs to business card information. The technology behind the website is already used in Spaces in Japan to show barcodes for the Space URL. The site also has a lot of tools that allow users to create various barcodes, including one specific to be printed on business cards. I’ve put my business card as a barcode below. If you can decode it, shoot me a email to say hello. It’s pretty rad and hats off to the team for getting it shipped.
